Born in the late spring of 2006, Connecticut’s The Eskimo perform an eclectic blend of all original Indie-Rock music, with influences varying from (but not limited to) Damien Rice, Leslie Feist, Broken Social Scene, Wilco, and the Decemberists. With a foundation built upon a D.I.Y. ethic The Eskimo have managed to execute an extensive New England summer tour, take 1st place in a regional battle of the bands, and receive airplay on several CT radio stations, including being featured on the WRKI-I95 FM Homegrown Show.
The Eskimo perform live with a rare shade of honesty and deliver tight, energetic, and powerful arrangements with a prestigious enthusiasm marked only by their sincere love for music and the stage.
“Wow . . . That’s probably one of the more powerful songs we’ve ever played in the history of the show.â€
- Neil Hedley (WRKI – I95 FM morning show host, in regards to The Eskimo’s track Cancer)
